I need help to format a cell in a report. The value comes from a linked excel sheet which in its turn gets its info from our business system. When exporting numbers from our business system it has the bad habit of formating numbers into a strange text like form. In excel there is a function "convert to number" that addresses this problem.
I need to format the specific cell in either in the report or query to a number. How can this be done?

Thanks in advance

Look in VBA Help (not Access Help) under functions in the "C's" like CInt or CDbl etc. You can pretty much coerce any datatype into a different datatype.

Will do!

Thanks!
